P2SL-LCI-AIA LEAN DESIGN FORUM 2018

UC Berkeley’s Project Production Systems Laboratory (P2SL), the Lean Construction Institute (LCI), and the American Institute of Architects (AIA) have been co-hosting the Lean Design Forum (with AIA offering continuing education credit) for many years now. The Forum meets twice a year, in Berkeley early in the year, and in the Midwest mid-year.

The 1.5-day 2018 Berkeley Forum will take place on Thursday (whole day) and Friday (morning only), 8 and 9 February 2018 as in previous years at the Hs Lordships Restaurant at the Berkeley marina.

Traditional Lean tools and techniques offer a great way of collecting explicit and quantitative customer values, however, it is often the implicit experiential customer values that truly drive decision making. Take coffee selection for example; customers describe their values in terms of taste and price, however, those same customers consistently choose Starbucks over McDonalds for coffee despite McDonalds superiority in both of those explicit customer values. Consumer decision making is actually being driven by experience values. The panel will explain how social science and design thinking techniques can be combined with lean methodologies to uncover those implicit but more powerful customer values at the early stage of the design process.

Jenny Hastings, Boulder Associates

Romano Nickerson, Boulder Associates

Jenny Hastings and Romano Nickerson will chair a panel discussing how their company, Boulder Associates, is using evidence based design.

DIRECTIONS: This meeting will take place Hs Lordships Restaurant (www.hslordships.com) at the Berkeley marina.

Public Transit: Take BART to the Berkeley (Downtown Berkeley, not North Berkeley) station. Then at Center and Shattuck Avenue, catch the Bus 51B bus towards the Berkeley Marina. Get off at the Berkeley Pier at Seawall Drive, then walk south ~2 mins.

By Car: There is plenty of free parking space, but please do NO LEAVE VALUABLES in your car! Take 80/580 to Berkeley and exit on University Avenue. Head west towards the Bay. At the stop sign, stay on the left-hand side of the road and continue towards the Berkeley pier. When you reach the bay, turn left and head south until you see the restaurant.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about lean project delivery and changes taking place in the industry!
